Lol reading the comments in this sub show how clueless the general population is. Probably the same people that said Tesla was vaporware.

To answer your question: He’s not building subway tunnels. It’s tunnels for Tesla vehicles.



That doesn't exactly improve the ROI.


It makes it a lot worse. You can fit a load of people on a subway train versus a model s or x


You’ve got the wrong perspective.

From the perspective of the city, the ROI of a subway train is high.

From the perspective of an individual, the ROI of using my own car in a tunnel, exactly when I want to, without parking, waiting, embarking, smelling the vagrants, disembarking, walking or getting a cab, ... Priceless!


From the perspective of an individual, the ROI of using my own car ON a FREEWAY, exactly when I want to, without parking, waiting, embarking, smelling the vagrants, disembarking, walking or getting a cab, ... Priceless!

My corrections in CAPS.

I don't think I need to say more, it should be obvious way tunnels for cars are a bad idea.


But... the city is you! Without the trains that's more cars in your way when you drive your car.


> exactly when I want to

What about everyone else and their cars?


>Priceless!

Weird then that he didn't ask the individual to pay for it.


Hey, everyone — I (fairly) accurately expressed the points of view of some participants in this equation. Why are you spanking me for that? Or... were you looking for an echo chamber here on HN?

Because if you keep downvoting every statement that you don’t agree with, that’s what you’ll soon have!


I down voted because I believe it is an extraordinary claim without evidence.


"an echo chamber is when anyone disagrees with me"


Spoken like someone who spends 4 hours on the 405 fwy a day, by choice.
